The X server I use does not support TrueColor visual, and
I use DirectColor visual.
I think the problem is in making color map.

My profile is the following.

I measured the cost of displaying linton.tif again by using xv 
on an EWS4800 workstation, it took about 2 seconds to
display the image.

tiftopnm linton.tif > linton.ppm
xv linton.ppm

I would appreciate it, if you could give me some information 
which would allow me to achieve as good a performance as xv.
